Bonchon Navy Yard

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Great Korean fried chicken spot in Navy Yard Bonchon is a solid go-to for Korean fried chicken, especially if you’re looking for a fun place to hang out and watch a game in Navy Yard. We always order the combo, and you really can’t go wrong—both the spicy and garlic flavors are excellent, crispy, and full of flavor. I also love their Japchae noodles, which are a great side. The salad was just okay, but the chicken definitely steals the show. Another big plus is the QR code ordering system. You can scan and order directly from your table, which is super convenient and smooth, especially when the place is busy. Overall, a great spot for good food, sports, and a casual night out.

Ordering at Bonchon starts a little differently than most dine-in spots. We sat ourselves at a high top table. There was a QR code to access the menu. When the site loaded, right at the top before you even browse, you’re told you must select a tip before placing your order. They note you can ask a manager to change it later if needed. While I’m pro-tipping, it struck me as an odd and slightly off-putting policy, especially given that there’s no full table service and you’re placing your own order. Not exactly the warmest first impression. After getting past that and placing my order, the experience improved quickly. The food came out fast, plated well, and looked as good as it smelled. I started with the Pork Belly Bao Buns (set of three). The menu mentioned spicy mayo, but if it was the

Always love this Bonchon venue, service is fast and the food is always on point. They also have a bar inside for tap and lunch could be very busy and more relaxing at dinner time. The soysauce Korean chicken is always a must-try!

Great wings every single time. I prefer the spicy much more but we always get half and half. Stopped in for happy hour and the fries were $5 and popcorn shrimp were $7. It was a LOT of shrimp and they are very good. Couldn't even finish the fries. $5 wines too!

Solid spot! We came on a Tuesday and it’s trivia night and veryyyyy loud - too loud to have a conversation, so we went on the patio - a little chilly and can’t order out there, but can at least take your food out there. Pricey for what it the vibe is, but tasty! I’d go back…but not on trivia night, lol!
